What a magical experience to stay. Dale is an incredible host whose homestead reflects his artistry and creativity that we were honored to get to stay at, he genuinely wants his guests to have a great time. Come for the pool, stay for the warm atmosphere and the caves and multiple outdoor hang out spots (the hot tub under the stars was a major highlight). Could not recommend more and we will definitely be back next year for our annual visit.

Came with my family for our first visit to Joshua Tree, and this was the perfect home for our trip. Great location close to park entrances, and my kids all loved exploring the rocks and cave in the backyard. The pool and hot tub were clean and helped us relax after our mornings hiking in the sunshine. Definitely recommend and hope to return someday!

Tucked among the boulders just outside of Joshua Tree National Park is this little slice of desert heaven. Float in the pool surrounded by boulders, star gaze from the elevated hot tub, take a short hike right from the property to the National Park boundary line, or simply relax and enjoy Dale's extensive book collection. Regardless of what you choose to do you will not be disappointed. Thank you for sharing your lovely desert retreat with us. We will be back.

Dale's place is a gem in a garden of gems.Upon arrival, Dale took the time to give us the history of the art and decor in the house, which added to our appreciation and enjoyment. It is conveniently located to Joshua Tree National Park, and there are wonderful hikes right in his backyard. The property is simply amazing. Imagine a swimming pool right in front of Skull Rock!We highly recommend a stay in Villa dei Fiori!

Stayed for 4 days over spring break with 2 teenage boys. The pool was too chilly for swimming, but the spa & grounds were amazing. The boys loved scrambling the rocks & exploring the property. The spa & fire pit were great nighttime activities under the desert stars. The home is clean & well stocked. The owner is very responsive. Location was great. 100% would recommend.

If you're a nature lover like us, this property cant be topped! Epic caves, abundant wildlife, and many varieties of cacti are just steps away from the refreshing pool. The house is basic but well appointed - this is all about the location. Definitely the coolest VRBO I have ever stayed in. Dale is very friendly and accommodating as well, highly recommended.

Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids ages 7 and 9) had a fabulous long weekend at Dale's place! We saw tons of animals right on the property: chuckwallas, fence lizards, a rosy boa, roadrunners, and a quail mom with eight tiny chicks! The location is breathtaking, set right up against a private set of boulders with views out over the desert. Our kids had the best time scrambling on the rocks in the back valley right behind the house each day, and the stars from the hot tub were spectacular. The pictures don't do it justice--thanks so much for sharing this special place!

This house was more than we could have hoped for. The pictures do not do it justice. Dale is an amazing host and we are grateful he is willing to share this property with others. We saw a kangroo rat, lizards, bats that would come in the evening to drink from the pool. A roadrunner in the front yard and jack rabbits. The rock climbing and the views were spectacular. We would climb the boulders to watch the sunset every evening, then finish out our night in the hot tub. We would eat dinner on the patios. Location was quiet and serene. The outside patios smelled so good he had many rosemary and lavender bushes throughout the proptery. I hope we can return one day. I would also recommend the coffee/cocktail bar down the road Mas o Menos.

Easily one of the most unique, well situated properties we have stayed at. Beautiful location with a backyard that you have to see to believe! Take a hike right up the boulders in the back yard and then relax in the hot top and pool with amazing views. The house is eclectic and we LOVED it... Dale, the property owner provided an excellent tour of the property at check-in and shared wonderful stories along the way... house is older, but is well equipped and has everything you need for a great stay! Easy access to Joshua Tree, 29 Palms, and both the West and North enterances to Joshua Tree National Park!

The location of this property was perfect. You are close to the popular West entrance of Joshua Tree National Park as well as the North entrance to the park and this allows you relatively quick access to two different areas. The property was beautiful, it sits right up against the desert boulders and is very quiet, making for wonderfully peaceful and relaxing evenings. Great for stargazing as well. The host provides a very detailed orientation to the property and the home is well stocked with all the essentials.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa dei Fiori and would absolutely recommend it for a unique Joshua Tree experience. The owner was very communicative, friendly, and welcoming. They gave us an exceptionally thorough tour on arrival, walking us through every detail of the property, which made it easy to settle in and fully enjoy our stay.The home itself is full of character, with interesting art throughout that adds personality. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The pool was a major highlight—beautiful, refreshing, and perfectly set among the desert landscape. It was exactly what we were hoping for and a great place to relax and take in the surroundings.The outdoor space is incredible, with rocks, caves to explore, and plenty of room to walk. We saw quail, lizards, kangaroo rats, and even a roadrunner (we were told the owner sometimes has treats for it, which was a fun touch).We brought our dogs and the property worked well for them, though there isn’t a fenced area for off-leash running. That said, we enjoyed walking them around the grounds.Overall, a peaceful, memorable stay with a great host—we would definitely come back.

We’ve stayed at some pretty nice vacation houses, but this place takes the cake. It’s set right on the border of Joshua Tree National Park, with no close neighbors and our back yard looks like a park itself. I basically chose this location after seeing the pictures of the pool surrounded by massive rocks. The owner Dale gave us a great tour when we arrived showing us all the history, artwork and personal artifacts that decorate the house. Definitely not your average white washed vacation rental. He really put his heart and soul into this place. Every room is full of character, painted in tones of orange and plum with baroque decor. Definitely the perfect place to relax and recharge.

This was an exceptional stay from start to finish. The location is absolutely perfect, with gorgeous views and easy access to incredible hiking right among the boulders. It truly feels you are immersed in the Joshua Tree landscape. The house is very comfortable and exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed. The jacuzzi was awesome, asd enjoyed a glass of red wine on the patio while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. We also loved being able to walk down the road to Mas o Menos for cocktails and tacos, which was such a fun bonus. Dale was a charming and incredibly informative host, and his vast library was a wonderful touch that made the home feel even more special. Every detail made this a memorable experience, and we can’t wait to return and enjoy the amazing pool next time.
